Compilation of .C into .dll
Hi Scott, Your question is a FAQ: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#How-do-I-include-compiled-C-code_003f also try reading: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#System-and-foreign-language-interfaces If you want examples, try downloading the source code for some of the packages on CRAN. Some of these contain C code which is compiled and linked. The first time I did this, it took me quite a few hours iterating between reading, looking at what others had done, and trying things out. To me, that is just the nature of it. I doubt anyone can provide a 'very quick script' that will just work for your particular case. At that point, it is just an example of what you might do, in which case just look at existing packages. Here is one (of many) packages you could use: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SoDA/index.html it is kind of a nice choice, I think, because it accompanies the book, Software for Data Analysis by John Chambers, so it is sort of geared towards teaching. Cheers, Josh

Hello, Computing language really isn't a strength of mine - I'm trying to run a model which has been passed on to me and I need to convert it into a dll, so it is usable in R, but I'm finding the documentation very hard to follow. Could someone possibly provide me a very quick script to do this using the Command Prompt function (I'm using Windows 7). ?Details as follow: C:\Users\Scott\Desktop\model_gir\C_source-code> The above is the folder where the .c file (titled model7all.c) is stored - how do I convert this to a .dll format? Any help GREATLY appreciated.
